Wonderful synopsis of missing immune cells may explain why COVID-19 vaccine protection quickly wanes You are great at highlighting the important points. I had scanned the article but missed the payload - how the surface spike proteins on the SARS-CoV-2 virus are spaced too far apart to allow B cells to effectively trigger cross-linking

Also, I did not know that China had vaccinated more than 90% of its population before they let it rip. I wonder if the US press ever pointed this out?

You seem to be highlighting the modeling of JP Weiland more then Mike Hoerger and I wonder why? I like them both. They bring different things to the table. However, JP's analysis frequently stresses how much better things were than some other point in recent time without paying much attention to the fact that there is now a constant baseline of infection that is still causing death and disability. When I read it, I feel better (and it is better that is lower) but it makes me lose sight of the continuing background level of infection in between the waves.
